  Capture the vibrant flavors of southern Spain with this award-winning cookbook featuring recipes from each of Andalucia’s 8 provinces. Acclaimed food writer Elisabeth Luard offers a personal, geographical and culinary tour of Andalucia in this beautifully illustrated cookbook. Along with mouthwatering recipes, Luard describes how the geography and history of the region have influenced its culinary traditions—and intriguing combination of hearty peasant fare and delicate seasonings that are a legacy of Moorish invasions. Each province draws on its own magnificent natural larder, and the recipes, such as hot gazpacho from Huelva, salt cod with potatoes and peppers from Jaén, pork and beans with chard from Seville and chickpea and wheat soup from Almería, reflect this diversity. Having lived in the area for several years, Luard interweaves personal memories with a wealth of cultural and historical information. The text is accompanied by the author's own watercolors of dishes and scenes of Andalucian life.   Winner of the Glenfiddich Award for Best Food Book

  “Long before it was trendy to serve sustainable, local, and organic food, Maryland native Shields was doing it at Gertrude’s, a modest modern restaurant tucked inside the Baltimore Museum of Art. This fall he reissued his prescient chronicle of the waterman’s way of life and traditional cooking on the mid-Atlantic coast. It includes how to “pick” steamed crabs (seasoned with Old Bay, natch), prepare country sides like Green Beans With Country Ham and Sautéed Peanuts, and make the quirky relish known as chow-chow.” —April Fulton, National Geographic’sfood blog, The Plate 
   
  “John knows and loves the Chesapeake as only a native can. One of the best regional American cookbooks you’ll ever find.” —Gourmet

For those of us who are fortunate enough to be a part of this region, Mr. Shields reminds us of the experience we’ll always remember.” —The Honorable William Donald Schaefer, former governor of Maryland
